In the wild, animals will naturally eat what they need and no more. The task of searching for food and other basic necessities involves lots of exercise and so wild animals remain naturally fit and healthy. The food available to them in their natural habitat is perfectly designed to meet their needs in an environment that has not been tampered with. Domestic animals are provided with food which they do not have to hunt for and which is not always suited for their bodies. In addition, they are often exposed to a lifestyle which contributes to sluggish metabolism, underactive thyroids and livers which are not able to remove toxins or eliminate unwanted fat from their bodies.

Selective breeding programs have often further affected the ability of our pets to properly process the food that we give them and certain breeds are known to be more prone to obesity than others.

HOW CAN NATURAL REMEDIES HELP?
The first step in addressing obesity or weight problems in your pet is to examine lifestyle factors like diet and exercise. The second is to determine whether other factors like boredom or even depression, hypothyroidism, diabetes or other endocrine disorders could be contributing to making your pet overweight.

Natural remedies can be very effective in restoring body functioning to process food efficiently. Improving thyroid and liver functioning, assisting digestive processes, boosting metabolism and enhancing the body's ability to process dietary fat will help to keep those extra pounds off your pet. Herbal and homeopathic medicine can also help to improve all-round systemic functioning and restore health and vigor to depressed, lethargic and overweight pets. Along with an improved diet and regular exercise, natural remedies can help your pet to lose weight naturally, enjoy a healthy life and prevent the multiple illnesses associated with obesity in pets.

"We know that we have to treat the whole animal in order to address the problem. We also have to be sensitive to pets who have become accustomed to associating 'treats' with love and affection and find other ways to show our love towards them. Many people who 'comfort eat' also inadvertently train their pets to do the same, with very unhealthy consequences, believing that they will be depriving their pets by withholding treats and junk food. Nothing could be further from the truth! Instead of offering that tidbit, caress your pet - you will both feel much better for it!"

- Michele Carelse, Clinical Psychologist.

INGREDIENTS

• Fucus vesiculosis: is a sea vegetable that is a concentrated source of minerals, including iodine, potassium, magnesium, calcium, and iron. As a source of iodine, it assists in the production of thyroid hormones, which are necessary for maintaining healthy metabolism in all cells of the body. Regular use will also improve skin and coat condition. Curcuma longa: was used more than three thousand years ago by Indian healers to treat obesity. Modern research has shown that Curcuma has a beneficial effect on the liver, stimulating the flow of bile, which is responsible for the breakdown of dietary fat.
  
• Sylibum marianus: (Milk Thistle) is regarded as one of the most important herbal liver tonics and restoratives and its use may be traced back more than 2000 years. Milk Thistle has been subject to many clinical trials which clearly demonstrate its effectiveness. It is frequently recommended to counteract the harmful effects of alcohol and other drugs on the liver and clinical studies have shown that it helps the liver to return to normal functioning. Scientific analysis of Milk Thistle shows that it contains a flavonoid complex called silymarin, which is largely responsible for the medical benefits of this herb. Silymarin is a powerful anti-oxidant and can block the entrance of toxins into the liver and remove toxins at cellular level, thereby resulting in regeneration of liver cells and improved liver functioning. As well as helping in any weightloss program, this would also have a direct impact on overall systemic health as the liver is one of the most important organs in the body.
  
• Taraxacum officinalis: Dandelion contains bitter principles which have a beneficial effect on the liver and digestive system. Dandelion is also a rich source of vitamins and minerals, including Vitamin A, D, C, various B Vitamins, iron, lecithin, silicon, potassium, magnesium, zinc and manganese. It enhances liver and gall bladder functioning and may decrease high blood pressure due to its diuretic properties.
  
• Rice Powder: (inactive ingredient)
